It is fully managed services which means we have to focus on building application without bothering about the infrastructure. Databases are accessible even when infrastructure fails due to its high availability feature. It also provides us scalability meaning by increasing CPU, memory database resources can be scaled up.

"My Review On Google Cloud SQL"
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

When you start to create a cloud SQL instance , it asks which database server instance we would like to run, it can be MySQL, Postgresql or SQL server which is a good thing cause we do not need to worry about the set-up or installation part, and Google manages the infrastructure for us and we can be free from worrying about the loss of data as well.

It can be automatically scaled which is an added advantage if we don't know how much data will get populated initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

I think Google make their effort to stop us worrying about the infrastructure and other maintenance things making us lazy. Haha. I have not found any disliking factor about cloud SQL , if I find I will surely come back and edit my reviw Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Cloud SQL - Truly a Hassle Free Experience Always"
What do you like best about Google Cloud SQL?

For me, it's one of the preferred DB services when comes to Migration, with a very little downtime window and incidents too for a wide range range of projects, be it small or for a very large Client. Apart from that, there is no need to do the regular maintenance (like backups, restarts etc) of DB servers as it's completely managed. For Developers also, it can come in very handy as they can use and run any instance ranging from SQL server, MYSQL or PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud SQL?

1. With limited visibility to Server Instances, it gives less control for custom configurations

2. For a large project, it becomes on the pricey side but considering the server maintenance costs and downtimes in a traditional method it's a valid bargain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
